Windows 10: Upgrade to 2004 not 20H2

Can someone provide me with a way to get upgrade media to build 2004? Microsoft will only offer 20H2, which it refuses to install on my new PC because it has a Thunderbolt port.


Thanks,

Daniel

1909 to 2004 upgrade

The 20H2 iso is available for download (see News section), so that naturally 'includes' 2004. This is a step preceding 20H2 becoming available by Windows Update in place of 2004; presently you'd be offered 2004 by WU then the 20H2 enablement package. All downloads are available following the relevant article in the News section.

It's an evolving scenario following the pattern of 1903/1909.

 

Wu - 1909-2004-20h2

I just upgraded my desktop PC from v1909 to v2004 and had two issues:

1. Couldn't log on to Cortana with my usual MS account - Strange Cortana Login Issue
2. PUA option turned off in Defender settings with the notice this setting is managed by your administrator. Solved by running this file available on the forum Default_allow_set_Windows_Defender_PUA_in_Windows_Security.reg

 

Seeking Advice Skipping 2004, Jumping to 20H2

Even if you are keen on getting 20H2, I would advise going for 2004. The reason is that the update from 2004 to 20H2 is a minor one, a small 85KB enablement package that turns on the dormant 20H2 features that are already in 2004. This enablement package installs quickly, like a cumulative update.

If you upgrade to 2004 then let Windows Update install the 20H2 enablement package, it can easily be unistalled in Control Panel's Installed Updates and revert you to 2004. If you upgrade directly to 20H2 the enablement package cannot be uninstalled.
